Use the remainder Theorem to find the remainder for (x2- 2)/(x - 1) and state whether or not the binomial is a factor of

ratelena [41]3 years ago

Answer:

The remainder is -1

The binomial is not a factor of the polynomial

Step-by-step explanation:

In the algebraic division, there are 4 terms

  1. Dividend ⇒ the term before the division sign
  2. Divisor ⇒ the term after the division sign
  3. Quotient ⇒ the answer
  4. Remainder ⇒ appear when the dividend not divisible by the divisor (the divisor is not a factor of the dividend)

<u><em>The remainder theorem:</em></u>

  • If you divide a polynomial f(x) by (x - h), then the remainder is f(h).
  • You do not need to use the long division to find the remainder, just evaluate the polynomial when x = h to find the remainder.
  • If h(h) = 0, then (x - h) is a factor of f(x)

Let us use it to solve the question

∵ The dividend is x² - 2

∴ f(x) = x² - 2

∵ The divisor is x - 1

∴ (x - h) = (x - 1)

∴ h = 1

Let us find f(1)

∵ f(1) = (1)² - 2 = 1 - 2 = -1

∴ f(1) = -1

∴ The remainder is -1

∵ f(1) ≠ 0

∴ x - 1 is not a factor of x² - 2

∴ The binomial is not a factor of the polynomial

a state charges an 8.5% sales tax and a 10% excise tax on gasoline. he purchased $25 of gasoline before tax. How should he find
Mama L [17]

Answer:

The total money spend on total tax of purchase is $4.625

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The percentage of sales tax applied on gasoline purchase = 8.5%

The percentage of excise tax applied on gasoline purchase = 10%

The price of gasoline before tax = $25

Let The total money on total tax of purchase = $x

Now, Total percentage of tax = sales tax percentage + excise tax percentage

i.e  Total percentage of tax = 8.5% + 10%

Or,  Total percentage of tax = 18.5%

<u>Again</u>

total money on total tax of purchase = $25 of total total tax percentage

Or, x = $25 × 18.5%

Or, x = $25 × \dfrac{18.5}{100}

Or, x = $25 × 0.185

∴  x = $4.625

So,The total money on total tax of purchase = x = $4.625

Hence,The total money spend on total tax of purchase is $4.625 Answer

What is the quotient? Will give brainliest and will report absurd answers.
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

When dividing fractions, multiply the first number by the reciprocal of the second number

2/5 ÷ 1/3

First, find the reciprocal of the second number: 1/3

To find the reciprocal, flip the numerator (top number) and denominator (bottom number)

1/3-->3/1

Now, multiply 2/5 and 3/1

2/5 * 3/1

Multiply across the numerators and denominators

6/5

3 times a number is 54 less than the square of that number. Find the negative solution.
son4ous [18]

Answer:

-6

Step-by-step explanation:

3n = n² - 54

n² - 3n - 54 = 0

n² - 9n + 6n - 54 = 0

n(n - 9) + 6(n - 9) = 0

(n - 9)(n + 6) = 0

n = 9 , -6
